That's why earth-shattering changes need to go into development branches
(1.1.x), and not the 1.0.x. 1.0.x branches should focus on stability, 1.1.x
should showcase new features, like the difference between gimp 1.0.x and
gimp 1.1.x. 1.0.x still need stability work, but I would keep major changes
out of this branch, until the code is proved to be reliable and useful.
